I'm posting a comment because this really good article was in danger of being bumped off the front page of the news within an hour or so of it being posted by variations of stories that we've already seen before. I figure if it appears on the first page of the forum, more people might take the opportunity to read it....

It's beyond annoying when old stories get bumped. Who needs to read the 1,312th message on a thread 2 years old anyways?

The Advocate published an article about this subject. Issue 1009.
From experience, these groups mean well in a twisted way, but the results and means are down right evil. In my opinion these so called "ex-gay" groups are mental terrorism.

Mike, I'm very interested in this topic and had never seen the article before. Don't want to read it? Don't. But it ought to be posted every week, it's obviously information that's badly needed, I plan to print it and post it at my church.

"Meet"? For what? Sorry, I have no desire whatsoever to deal with another persons delusions and self-loathing.
Life is about playing the hand you are dealt, not listening to others tell you the way they think you should play it.

OK, OkieDokieDaren - however for those of us who routinely come here seeing a story that's eons old get bumped is annoying. If you're really so adament about seeing important info then come here more often. Most bumped threads, though, aren't "important411".
